If mankind had not been organized into families, it would never have had the organic power to be organized into commonwealths. Human culture is handed down in the customs of countless households. It is the only way in which human culture can remain human.

Those who believe in the dignity of the domestic tradition, who happen to be the overwhelming majority of mankind, regard the home as a sphere of vast social importance and supreme spiritual significance, and to talk of being "confined" to it is like talking of being chained to a throne or set in the seat of judgment as if it were the stocks.

G. K. Chesterton, "The Dignity of Domesticity," The Illustrated London News, 1929
